ForestrySA will begin residue burning across its Mount Lofty Ranges pine plantation estate this month, ahead of the annual winter replanting season. The burns are scheduled to take place within the Mount Crawford, Kuitpo and Second Valley pine forests throughout May and June, following recent tree harvesting activity. Source: Timberbiz

Burns in commercial forest areas are undertaken to manage harvesting debris and facilitate cultivation of the site for the next crop.

ForestrySA is also working to reduce residue burning where possible over coming years.
